Howdy, Seeing an interesting behavior with instream variable substitution. My 10 step test job:
... //E01 EXPORT SYMLIST=(MYFY) //S01 SET MYFY=2021 //* //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,REGION=1024K //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=G //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=G //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=G //SYSUT1 DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS FY=&MYFY SYS=&SYSNAME ... //* //STEP10 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,REGION=1024K //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=G //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=G //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=G //SYSUT1 DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS FY=&MYFY SYS=&SYSNAME Output from the job shows variables MYFY (exported) and SYSNAME (system) accurate for 4 steps: FY=2021 SYS=A At STEP5 and after, the variables are lost/cleared: FY=&MYFY SYS=&SYSNAME Not seeing anything online. Has anyone experienced this before, and has input/explanation? Thanks!
